When you receive difficult news about your health
One of my clients was recently diagnosed with a serious medical disease, and she was sharing with me that it was hard to know how to manage all of the different feelings that are coming up for her. One minute she’s sad, the next minute she’s angry, the next she’s optimistic about her ability to fight for her health, the next she’s overwhelmed, and the next she’s worried about how her illness will impact her family.
You’re not broken (and you don’t need to be ‘fixed’)
As a trauma-informed tapping practitioner, one of my deepest values is that each of us is enough, exactly as we are. While we may do work to improve things in our lives and heal from trauma, we aren’t ‘broken’, and we don’t need to be ‘fixed’. Watch as I demonstrate how to tap through the self-limiting belief of thinking that we’re broken. One of the things you’ll want to do is include that belief in your set-up statement.
Tapping as Self-Care for Activists
As a trauma-informed tapping practitioner, I teach tapping as self-care for people in the social justice movement all the time- for both physical and emotional symptoms. Watch as I demonstrate how to tap on a stress-related physical symptom.
Tapping as a somatic practice for trauma survivors
Watch as I discuss tapping as a somatic practice- it uses the body as part of the technique, which allows patients to get an even deeper access to trauma in order to heal it.
Tapping for burnout in healthcare
Trying to take good care of patients when you’re burned out is one of the most draining, difficult things to do. It can lead to serious mental health issues, and it can also lead to worse outcomes for patients. Because burnout can bring a complex mix of emotions, watch as I demonstrate a technique that can be helpful to process burnout that’s different from how we usually approach tapping- you can focus on the physical sensations of the exhaustion and burnout, rather the emotions themselves.
Caregiver Burnout
In these situations of caregiver burnout, it is so important to allow multiple conflicting feelings to be present- and valid- at the same time, even if they seem to be contradicting each other. Watch as I share some trauma-informed techniques that I use as a tapping practitioner when I work with clients who are caregivers.
Tapping, Therapy, and Coaching: Which is best for you?
EFT/Tapping is more like a hybrid between coaching and therapy, and it complements both modalities really well. I use tapping to help my clients connect with their own wisdom and intuition, and I also use tapping as a modality to explore and heal past traumas.
Watch as I demonstrate some of the specific ways that tapping can be used to empower clients to connect with their own wisdom.
Tapping for sustainability in activism spaces
One of the techniques that I use as a trauma-informed tapping practitioner to help clients keep their activism work sustainable is to explicitly honor our feelings while tapping. Watch as I show you how to fit this technique into your tapping practice.
